Barack Obama's Unhappy Birthday

I have to add one more. I have used this before but after re-reading the remark” Obama is also a Harvard-educated intellectual with his share of elegance and sangfroid.” I think back in my time as a manufacturing manager. The company had a quality control manager that when you heard him speak (before you knew him and knew he was not competent in his job) you would think he was the smartest most wonderful person in the company, but he was useless. On a managerial trip there was a question and answer session. Someone asked a question about a particular quality problem. His answer on why the problem could not happen was brilliant. Most of the managers (who were from sales and corporate headquarters and were not directly affected by the problem) gave him a standing ovation. Of course those of us affected were sitting there wondering then WHY DO WE STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM! I think of this when I hear a journalist speak of how eloquent Obama is. But I also just realized something else I had not thought of before; the quality control manager did not need a teleprompter to spout bull crap.

1. The Fed, in a unprecedented move, announced near "0" interest rate through 2013. That means BAD TIMES AHEAD.
2. After Monday disaster, Fox audience soared, while CNN and others you could hear crickets from the listeners section. THAT MEANS THEY TRUST FOX for the FACTS, not candy coated obamaite news.
3. Reid was not happy when confronted by new media asking hard question, not falling for Democrat obvious spin from the truth on FAA matter. Many Democrats on tv telling news not to cover TEA. No more freedom of press concerning TEA ? To be real, call Democrat in DC government, brown shirt NAZI.
4. To get the $$$ trillions upon $trillions of cooperate saving accounts investing, along with the private citizens, there must be a reversal of near all bills passed under obama democrat rule. You know darn well they know that is on our agenda. EPA, major change. Smaller government, of course. WHAT DO WE NEED ? Business friendly government. This to create JOBS !!!
5. obama’s way_ AA.
5 presents for obama. One for each decade. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. PRESIDENT. Happy birthday to you.....

I just had a birthday last Sun. , you know what I did , I went in and worked 10 hours . I worked 10 hours to pay the bills , save some money while I still have a job , help the company I work for make some money , help our customer meet their sched . , lets not forget pay more in taxes and my " fair share " .
My next birthday I may be sitting home , we have no jobs on the books for next year . I'll be honest folks , I hear nothing good from any company I come in contact with , whether it be our customer or sub-contractors , they're affraid of what's comming from taxes , regulations and their cost of Obamacare . That's a fact ...
So , don't give me Obamas unhappy birthday ( no concert or vacation ) , how about the countries unhappy days in general . His vacations compared to 80% of us ? His golf outings compared to whoever plays ? Rats butt .

We are downgraded because as I said in a previous post, this president spent like money was shooting out his rear (and I will admit Bush overspent also). The Republicans finally got the message that overspending can actually bankrupt a country and there are not enough people to steal from to keep funding union vote buying projects. So what do people like you say, do you reward them for finally trying to act responsible and reducespending and regulations so that we can get this country on track, no you resort to calling them the enemy. As far as the confidence in Obama, as a sales person I am speaking to business people constantly, they have zero confidence in Obama. I hear from them that they believe nothing will get better until we vote that idiot (their words) out of office.
I am sorry but David Brooks can admire his perfectly creased pants, Matthews can get a tingle in leg whenever Obama speaks, but he has no more business being president than I do performing brain surgery. Maybe things will be better as soon as we have a new president.
